Indiana Medicaid waiver invitations hit capacity, more than 10,000 still on waitlists

Advocates say the state won't invite new people off the waitlist until previous invitations have been declined or rescinded. Last week, a Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) official confirmed invitations off the waitlist have depended on other people declining or the state rescinding an invitation since February. Once someone is invited off the waitlist for the Health and Wellness or Pathways waiver, they have 30 days to accept the invitation. Then, they have 180 days to complete a service plan and several assessments to start receiving services. If they don’t, FSSA rescinds the invitation and offers it to another person on the waitlist.
